ReadyServer VPS User Guide

Everything you need to create, manage, upgrade, and pay for your ReadyServer VPS — all from the Ready Server mobile app.

Getting Started

Ready Server VPS is managed entirely through the Ready Server mobile app.

Things to Know Before Creating a VPS

A few quick things to keep in mind before you get started, so your VPS is set up just the way you want it:

  • Choose your region carefully. Once your VPS is created, the region it's deployed in can't be changed — so take a moment to pick the one closest to you or your users.
  • Every VPS starts on the Basic plan. All new VPS instances are created on the Basic plan first. Once it's up and running, upgrading to a higher plan is quick and easy.
  • You pick your OS upfront. Choose Linux or Windows during setup, and your VPS will be ready to go with the operating system you selected.
  • Billing kicks in once you're live. You won't be charged until your VPS has been successfully provisioned and is up and running — no surprises.
  • Self-managed — you're in control. Your VPS arrives with your chosen operating system ready to go. From there, you're free to install, configure, and manage any software you like, exactly the way you want — while we look after the underlying infrastructure.

Creating Your VPS

Step 1: Download the Ready Server App

Download and install the Ready Server mobile app on your device.

Step 2: Top Up Your Account

Before creating a VPS, you need to top up your Ready Server account.

  • Your top-up amount is converted into Ready Server Points.
  • These points are used to pay for your VPS usage and related services.

Step 3: Create a VPS

To create a new VPS:

  1. Open the Create VPS section in the app.
  2. On the next screen, you will arrive at the VPS configuration page:
    • The VPS specification (Basic plan) is shown for review only and cannot be changed at this stage.
    • Select the VPS region where your server will be deployed.
    • Select your preferred operating system (Linux or Windows).
    • Review the required points for the selected VPS configuration.
  3. Confirm the deployment.

Your VPS will typically be provisioned within a few minutes. Each VPS is delivered with:

  • The selected operating system pre-installed
  • Network settings pre-configured
  • Ready for immediate use

Managing Your VPS

After your VPS has been successfully provisioned, you can manage it directly from the Ready Server app. The app provides access to:

  • Operating System Login Credentials – View your VPS username and password.
  • Power Management – Start, stop, reboot, or safely shut down your VPS.
  • Public IP Address – Easily view your VPS public IP for remote access.
  • VPS Specifications – Check your current CPU, RAM, storage, and plan details.
  • Upgrade Options – Upgrade your VPS resources as your requirements grow.
  • Console & Rescue Mode – Recover your VPS anytime with browser-based console access and Rescue Mode, even if SSH or Remote Desktop becomes unavailable.

Connecting to Your VPS

Once your VPS is provisioned, you can connect to it remotely using SSH (Linux) or Remote Desktop (Windows). You will need your VPS public IP address and login credentials, both of which are available in the Ready Server app.

Linux VPS (SSH)

You can connect using any SSH client, such as:

  • Terminal (macOS/Linux)
  • Windows Terminal
  • PuTTY
  • Termius

You will need:

  • VPS public IP address
  • Username
  • Password

Windows VPS (Remote Desktop)

You can connect using Microsoft Remote Desktop (RDP).

You will need:

  • VPS public IP address
  • Administrator username
  • Password

Your VPS login credentials are available in the Ready Server app. If you are unable to connect, you can use browser-based Console access or Rescue Mode from the app. For more details, see the Connecting & Accessing Your VPS section of our FAQ.

Upgrading Your VPS

As your needs grow, your VPS can grow with you. Once your Basic plan is up and running, you're free to move up to higher tiers whenever you're ready. A few things to keep in mind:

  • Upgrades happen one tier at a time — the next tier opens up as soon as your current upgrade is complete.
  • Your VPS needs to be powered off while the upgrade is applied.
  • It's a good idea to pick a quiet maintenance window, so any brief downtime has minimal impact.

Backup

We keep a safety net in place: every ReadyServer VPS is backed up daily, at no extra cost. A few things worth knowing:

  • Backups are kept for up to 7 days.
  • They act as an internal safety net for disaster recovery on our side.
  • For anything important, we still recommend keeping your own regular backups of your data and configurations — it's the best way to stay fully in control of your own recovery.

Bandwidth

Every ReadyServer VPS plan includes unmetered data transfer — so you can grow your traffic freely, with no meter to watch and no surprise bills. A few things worth knowing:

  • No data-transfer charges or overage fees under normal use — what you see is what you pay.
  • A simple Fair Usage Policy keeps the network fast and reliable for everyone.
  • Your bandwidth runs on our shared high-capacity network, so dedicated or guaranteed-minimum bandwidth isn't part of the plan.

Billing

VPS Usage

Billing is simple and pay-as-you-go — you only pay for what you actually use:

  • Usage is billed by the hour, with points deducted based on your real usage.
  • Everything is settled daily, at 9:00 AM the following day.

Windows License

Running Windows? Just one thing to note: the Windows license is billed monthly, deducted on the first day of each month.

Billing for Android Users

To comply with Google Play policy requirements, billing management is no longer available directly within the ReadyServer Android app. Android users can continue managing their account balance through the ReadyServer website Billing page.

To top up your account balance:

  1. Visit the ReadyServer website.
  2. Go to the Billing section.
  3. Complete your top-up payment.
  4. Your account balance will be automatically updated after payment verification.

The ReadyServer app will automatically synchronize and display your latest balance. After completing your top-up, it may take up to 10 minutes for the updated balance to appear in the app — please ensure you are logged in with the same account used for the top-up.

There are no changes for Apple (iOS) users, who can continue managing their account balance and completing top-ups directly within the ReadyServer app as usual. For more details, see the Billing & Points section of our FAQ.

Self-Managed Service

With full root (Linux) or Administrator (Windows) access, your ReadyServer VPS is yours to shape exactly how you need. You have complete freedom over everything inside your server, including:

  • Installing and configuring your software
  • Operating system updates and maintenance
  • Security and access management
  • Deploying your applications
  • Managing your databases
  • Firewall and network configuration
  • VPN and service setup

Meanwhile, we take care of the foundation your VPS runs on:

  • Physical hardware
  • Network connectivity
  • Virtualization platform

In short: we keep the infrastructure running smoothly so you can focus on building — with the freedom to run your server exactly the way you want.

Support

Need a hand? Our support team is right inside the Ready Server app, through the in-app Support Chat. Because it's tied to your signed-in account, you can reach us securely — and we always know it's really you.

To help keep your account safe, we recommend:

  • Keeping your login details private
  • Not sharing account access with others
  • Locking your mobile device with a screen lock or biometrics

A little care here goes a long way toward keeping your VPS — and your conversations with us — secure.
